Who's the new IT officer?

DOWNERS GROVE — It's bad enough that you have removed comics such as "Fred Basset" and "Mixed Media," but now you've gotten rid of "Beetle Bailey."

I started reading Beetle after watching the animated cartoons on Ray Rayner's morning show on WGN-TV. (Apparently, Tribune Co. believed in cross-marketing in the 1960s.)

But what really annoys me is that you could not have waited until after July 4, when the name of the new IT officer is revealed. Now, I will have to go to Mort Walker's Web site to learn his name. Since you've been getting rid of old comics, I hope this doesn't signal the coming termination of "Peanuts." Even Charles Schultz strips from 30 years ago are still the funniest strips in the comics section.
